I have started working with Outlook 2003, and am exceedingly annoyed
that the messages I make are all spaced out at inordinately large intervals.
A little bit of knowledge being dangerous, I have fixed Word and Excel
to start exactly as I want them to, and would like to do the same with
Outlook.
When I am done composing a message, I Select All and |Format|Paragraph|
and set Before and After to 0 and it collapses the message somewhat, but
its annoying to have to keep doing it.
Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

I think this is so. Remember I just waltzed into this office and started
using what was there. Can I be -not word- and have a little more control
over composition? I really appreciate your advice. thanx!!

To "control composition" you would need t use either Word as the editor, or use Outlook's rich text format settings. HTML allows some control but is incompatible with some email programs and may be disabled by choice by others. RTF is only compatible with Outlook and Eudora. Word as the editor only works well if the recipient uses Office.

Which mail editor are you using (Word or Outlook's built-in one) and in what
format are you composing the messages?

I don't see where you state what message format you're using.

The answer I seek is one of "HTML", "Plain Text:", or "Rich Text" and can be
found by examining the Format menu in the compose window. Alternatively,
you can tell me what's selected in the "Compose in this message format"
drop-down on Tools>Options>Mail Format from the main Outlook window.
